The Way I Am Poem by shelbie bozeman

no one seems to like me
and I don't understand
no one seems to like me
for the way I am

I am myself
and not a different me
so why do people pretend
to be soooo happy?

They are not themselves
and I can't explain
why being myself
to everyone is such a pain

I don't seem to understand
why being me
is upsetting other people
it's complete idiocy

I would rather be hated for who I am
than to be loved for what I am not
so be yourself
or you will rot
